Vanessa Bryant, the widow of Los Angeles Lakers icon Kobe Bryant, took to her Instagram Stories to remind fans of what's happening on Thursday, October 17.
While it's just a normal day overall, with the NBA still in its preseason, it is poised to be a big one for sneakerheads as well as Lakers and Kobe fans. After all, Nike will be releasing the Kobe 5 Protro "X-Ray" colorway on the day.
Vanessa Bryant posted a photo of her wearing the unreleased shoes that feature an X-Ray design inspired by Kobe Bryant's 2010 "legendary "Broken Not Beaten" shirt.
She captioned her post with, "Dropping tomorrow" along with blue heart and Jack-o'-lantern emojis.
For what it's worth, Vanessa Bryant had already teased about the Nike Kobe 5 Protro "X-Ray" colorway earlier in the month. On Instagram, she shared several detailed images of the shoes along with its release information.
"Inspired by the iconic Kobe T-Shirt that originally dropped in 2010 and the Haunted Houses we used to go to around Halloween, this Kobe V launches 10.17," Vanessa Bryant wrote in her post.
Sure enough, with the Halloween coming up, the Nike Kobe 5 Protro "X-Ray" shoes could very well be the perfect pair to pick up. The shoes will drop at 10:00 a.m. EST.
